Willard Grant Conspiracy

Sitting somewhere between country and alternative, the collective known as Willard Grant Conspiracy have been hailed as the new heroes of their genre. Based near Palmdale, California, the band’s only permanent member, the heavily bearded vocalist Robert Fisher, has a style that has been compared to both John Cale and Johnny Cash. As a band, it’s easy to draw comparisons with the likes Nick Cave and Tindersticks.

With a collective of some 30+ musicians, Willard Grant Conspiracy are a force to be reckoned with – both physically and musically.

Performing here as a trio.

‘It’s beautiful, stark and a remarkable achievement in poetry and song‘
FOLK RADIO UK

‘At times hushed and poetic, at others dizzyingly huge and squalling‘
MOJO

‘At times it resembles the super-eight soundscapes of the Dirty Three… a contemporary take on the dustbowl, with the humanity of Steinbeck and the visual eye of Ansel Adams‘
AMERICANA UK

‘Understatedly poetic and expertly crafted, this is a fine record‘
BEARDED MAGAZINE
